Grabaron dos Maketas hasta 1992 y dos discos entre 1994 y 1996, consiguiendo cierta trascendencia en el panorama punk español. En 1997 hubo un cambio de guitarra. Entrando Javi a formar parte de la banda. Sus temas, caracterizados por abundantes coros y melodías repetitivas de tono fiestero-reivindicativo, se han convertido en himnos para algunos y se oyen sonar en bares y fiestas aún después de su retirada en septiembre 1998. El origen del nombre viene de la tradición hortícola de su zona, ya que "piperrak" significa "los pimientos" en euskera.

Tras 8 años de parón, Josetxu (de Lodosa), Txitxarro (de Alcanadre), Rufo (de Pradejón) y Javi (también de Pradejón) volvieron juntos a los escenarios el 13 de enero de 2007, nuevamente bajo el nombre de Piperrak, en el festival Hatortxu Rock de Berrioplano (Navarra).

Piperrak Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hik badakik zergatik
ta ez ba dakik galdeiok hire buruari nondik dabilen
Gaur egun gertatzen diren gauzak munduan
duela berrogei urte antzerakoak ziren
Jendea berriz Alemanian hasi da ukabilka
ta European arrazismoa berpizten dabil
Berrio denok faszitak jasan behar
berriro etsaia kaleetan aske dabil

berriro nahi gaituzte kontrolpean izan
berriro zapaldu nahiez beti bezala ostika!
Jakina da betidanik ego direla heriotzak
jakina ere aspaldi txakurra hil zela
baina txakurra hilda, desagertu ez zen dena
oraindik jasan behar gaixotasuna
Berriro denok faszistak jasan behar...

ARRAZISMOA AKATU!
FASZIMO AKATU!

Hik badakik zergatik
I do not know why

ta ez ba dakik galdeiok hire buruari nondik dabilen
But I ask myself where it comes from

Gaur egun gertatzen diren gauzak munduan
What is happening in the world today

duela berrogei urte antzerakoak ziren
They were similar to those of 20 years ago

Jendea berriz Alemanian hasi da ukabilka
People have started to rave again in Germany

ta European arrazismoa berpizten dabil
And European racism is reviving

Berrio denok faszitak jasan behar
Again, we all have to endure fascists

berriro etsaia kaleetan aske dabil
Again, the enemy is loose on the streets

berriro nahi gaituzte kontrolpean izan
Again, they want to have control over us

berriro zapaldu nahiez beti bezala ostika!
Again, they want to oppress us as always!
